Overview:
The need to migrate data from one (or many) systems to another is a major headache for many organisations, large and small. While the need to have the right data in the right place to support new application initiatives is fundamental, getting it there on time and on budget can all too easily become a recurring nightmare upon which enterprises spend vast sums of money. Moreover, it must be borne in mind that all data migrations are undertaken as a part of broader application projects (consolidations, upgrades, application migrations and so forth); this means that data migration cost and time overruns can severely impact on the overall project. Ultimately, a failed data migration project means a failed application project.
